e ] >> jimmy: we're back. our next guest is the -- was the 2012 republican nominee for president. he's returned to public life to do battle with donald trump.or of massachusetts. please welcome mitt romney. [ cheers and applause ] welcome. and you're just as handsome in r to be on television. >> you say that to all the guys, i know. >> jimmy: you have big hands, too. i like that in a politician. this is the first time i think anybody's ever come to the show

something. [ laughter ]le to go see this or do that -- >> it's the country, though, it's a country we're talking about. we have toing to be the leader of the free world. and i don't think donald trump should be that leader. [ cheers and applause ]ss they agree. i wanted -- i'm curious as to just how this began brewing. like were you at home, sitting hing donald trump on television and you just got so angry you ran out to the driveway and stomped on a ketchup packet? how did it happen?hat was the straw that broke the camel's back? >> well, it's been building over time. although i thought that i'd be best being a neutral arbiter and strikes and a foul now and then. and i did that. but you know, over time, with the mocking a reporter that's orter that asked tough questions did so because she was on her menstrual cycle, saying that george w.

disparaging all muslims and then for me the straw that broke the camel's back was the pretending david duke is, we don't know about the ku klux klan. i was with my son. we were driving. and he said to me, "dad, what the grandkids you did to stop donald trump?" and i said you know what, i've got to do something, now's the time. [ cheers and applause ]ow what i would say to my dad -- if my dad said that to me, i would have said, i don't know, what are you going to do? i'm getting out of the car.rump is not a person you want to mess with. i mean, he is -- he can be very, very vicious. if he is elected president, you're going to have to move. [ laughter ]hat, right? >> that's probably the case. but i will make sure that he does not audit my taxes. he apparently is very good at auditing taxes. >> jimmy: what about this tax thing?returns. he hasn't released tax returns and people said, well, you took a long time to release your tax returns. but ultima tax returns.

find in his tax returns and is there something you know that we don't?eleased my back taxes in january of 2012. so he should have released them by now. he went on various shows and them, that they were beautiful. [ laughter ] and now he's pushing back, maybe he -- my guess is he will never release his tax returns because that really will surprise people and cause a lot of people to move away from him. i don't know what it will be.s to dissuade and push aside and divert you know something's going on. either he's not making the money people think he is or not paying much in taxes or takingt don't seem right or not giving money to the veterans he cares so deeply about in his speeches. something will point out he's not the person he's been telling people he is.norance but aren't you required to release your tax returns? >> you're not. you're not required to. it's just been a long tradition residents say you want to take a look at who i am? it's not just what i'm going to tell you about myself, it's what the real deal is.

think he's not the real deal, that he's a phoney. and others who think he is. hey, prove it to us. give us the tax returns. if you have done what you've said you've done. and then also "the new york times" tape, let's see them. [ cheers and applause ] >> but we have a -- i'm sure everybody's played this clip and confronted you with it. but there was a happier time for you and donald trump. there was a time where he was actually gave you his endorsement. at that time did you think he was a phony? >> well, when you're running for president, you want a you. and 61 million people voted for me. i was very pleased with that. but i would not endorse 61 million people for president. i'm happy to have the r of folks but i wouldn't endorse them. but what donald trump has said during this campaign.ance, what he did about george bush, john mccain, and then says putin, on the other hand, is a strong, powerful leader. he's got this all mixed up. had he said the things he said ear i wouldn't have asked for his endorsement. >> jimmy: you would not have asked for his not endorsement. >> no. >> jimmy: and i'm sure you hate

this picture's not framed in your home? [ laughter ]f the other candidates called you and said hey, thanks for saying that? >> well, i've actually contacted the other candidates. >> jimmy: oh., i'm happy to do anything i can to be of help in your campaigns. i don't know which of the three of you's going to be the strongest contender. of republicans want someone other than donald trump, and i want to help that person become the president. >> jimmy: of those three which one do you like the most? and see who can do the best job tonight, who can do the best job in the coming weeks, who can be the most effective posting up against donald trump.ose three guys you're okay with. >> i will be happy to endorse any one of those three. >> jimmy: how do you know they're not phonies? have you checked these guys out? have you seen their tax returns? >> yeah.r tax returns out. they're pretty much laying out what they think the american people want to know about them. >> was actually your idea. and i like this idea. we've collected some mean tweets

[ applause ]speak hypothetically, mitt. who would you vote -- if you had to pick one of those two people? >> i would either write in a ot or i'd find some other candidate in there who was a conservative that i could support. >> jimmy: would you, if you are writing in a name, would you write my name on that ballot?] >> you write mine, i'll write yours. >> jimmy: okay. that would be pretty exciting to get your endorsement.t? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: obviously, you're a republican.

republicans. you want somebody from the republican party.s your take on him? do you think he's an honest guy? do you think he is a guy that means what he says when -- >> i do.guy. i think he's an honest guy. i just think he's terribly misguided. ronald reagan used to say it's not that liberals are ignorant. it's just that what they know is wrong.sanders knows is simply wrong. he's not going to help people come out of poverty. he's not going to build a strong middle class with policies that world. >> jimmy: and yet given the choice you would select bernie sanders over donald trump. yes? >> no, no, no, no. >> jimmy: oh. >> jimmy: sorry, i'm getting carried away with myself. you know, it's funny because your hair is so perfect.

>> look, it's 24 grandkids.hat kind of america are we going to have? are we going to remain the leader of the free world? are we going to be the shining city on a hill? and of nancy reagan we're reminded of the greatness of our presidents in the past. i want to make sure we have a great president, not someone whod on their religion or their race or their gender. this is a time for inclusion and greatness, and donald trump doesn't represent that to me. [ cheers and applause ] have some tweets here. these are real tweets. these were made by various parties, including -- >> i'll sit up for this.nd donald trump. so if you don't mind, i'll hand you each one. just read them aloud. it'll be painless if you just go through them. and there you go. all right.y reading -- >> @realdonaldtrump. mitt romney had his chance and blew it. lindsey graham ran for president, got zero, why are they now spokesmen against me? sad. got zero.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: one final question. you've made a lot of money. you've been very successful. how much would you pay donald trump to get out of the race? right price for that. donald trump just needs to get out of the race. he said in there that he's sad.y and let's have a candidate we can be proud of. >> jimmy: thank you, mitt. mitt romney, everybody. thanks to ray romano.n. we're out of time.
